Add sautéed onion to the bowl with bread cubes.

Pour in milk and stir until bread absorbs the liquid.

Add grated cheese, eggs, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the mixture.

Mix until well combined and let sit for 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Form the mixture into dumplings, about the size of a golf ball.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook for 15-20 minutes until they float to the surface.

Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon and let drain.

Optional: Sauté cooked dumplings in butter until golden brown on the outside.

Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
